RTS Conforms To The BOX Boston Options Exchange

Date 28/08/2003

RTS Realtime Systems Group announces its connectivity to the Boston Options Exchange (BOX). With the successful conformance to BOX, RTS now offers 17 gateways within North America, respectively 47 worldwide.

The Boston Options Exchange (BOX) is an equity derivatives market under the full regulatory responsibility of the Boston Stock Exchange (BSE). All trading is fully automated. A key feature of the BOX market is the Price Improvement Process (PIP), an automated trading mechanism which permits brokers to seek to improve executable client orders. This functionality is implemented in our RTD Software Products as well. Launch date of BOX is scheduled for October 2003.

Steffen Gemuenden, Member of the RTS Board, comments: "The connectivity to Boston Options Exchange is a further milestone in RTS' expansion to North America's option markets."

In addition to BOX, RTS already provides connectivity to other options markets such as ISE, CBOE Hyprid and the CBOE Autoquote system.
